Its fascinating how, in my teenage years, I might have aspired to emulate these characters.
Thinking, Hey this is how reality really is!
Important conversations should happen in public restrooms.
Suits / USA
How many times have you thought lets have an important business meeting inside a public restroom?
InSuits,they are always in bathrooms having the most important conversations.
Business happens in the bathroom.
To be the best lawyer, specialize in absolutely nothing.
What is Harvey Specters domain expertise?
Hes Michael Jordans lawyer, right?
The TV showSuitswill teach you more about fashion than how the law works in the United States.
So he does sports law.
No, waittoday hes representing someone in their divorce.
Wait, now hes on a criminal defense case.
Public bathrooms are an ideal environment for confronting your colleagues.
Supposedly hes a corporate lawyer, but his profession is radically all over the place with no real expertise.
Specializing in nothing is what great lawyers do.
Show up late at night at your co-workers homes.
Mike Ross, uninvited, just shows up and badgers someone while he’s playing golf to talk business.
Or, if they did that to you?
Well, heres some advice for young people entering the workforce.
You should definitely be like Mike Ross and just show up at your bosss doorstep.
Jessica randomly shows up in the middle of the night at Harvey’s apartment.
And dont find it weird if your boss shows up uninvited to your house either.
Thats normal (and not at all creepy).
Likewise, randomly badger your opponents, clients, and other colleagues in person.
Mike delivers earth-shattering information in small little folders.
Thats not how you do business.
Show up at their place of work and start badgering them.
Or, randomly wait for them outside their office.
He knows that giving his best starts with being the best version of himself.
Sure but also not really.
They just always look too good.
Also why do they never casual Friday inSuits?
Speaking of casual dress, one of my favorite sartorial unrealities in the show happens after work.
Instead, he just rolls up his sleeves and sulks around his apartments while looking sexy and drinking scotch.
Spend the other 5% of your time with hobbies that make you look like James Bond.
For instance, Harveys pastimes include boxing, racing cars, and playing cards.
Find hobbies like that.
Louis loves ballet, mudding, and opera.
You must be able to do it all.
Spend 4% of your time making sure your office and apartment look spectacular.
Spend 1% of your time doing actual legal work.
If there is still time in the day, try and do a bit of legal work.
NEVER, NEVER USE EMAIL.
This is the ideal format for important communication.
This is an ideal way to process information.
Paying attention to the details is overrated in law.
Hacking into computer systems is as easy as shoplifting.
Need to do something shady like register yourself as a member of the New York Bar?
Or, hack into Harvard Universitys student system and say you attended their law school?
A smart hacker can do this for you at the drop of a dime.
Hacking is, like, pretty simple.
Take a town car everywhere.
There is no traffic and youll easily move around the city.
Unfortunately, though, Toronto traffic is just as bad.
Go on unnecessary power trips.
Jessica Pearson, Harvey Specter, and Louis Litt love to go on power trips.
This is how real bosses should and do act.
And yes, if youve never seen the show, that is a real plot line.
Honestly, I love this show.
TV should not be reality and that is why we all cant stop watching this show.
Stream it now onPeacockorNetflix.
